Noodles and dumplings is a diamond in the rough. Situated in Downtown Hamilton the restaurant is…read moreextremely small giving an almost street food ambiance as best it can. Seating for about 8 -10 people. This particular day I ordered the Wonton Noodle Soup. A massive bowl of fresh hand made noodle and fresh wontons in a delectable broth. This broth was not hot chili wise as some other soups they offer with naked thus place unique. Each bowl is crafted with a different taste and being a small place the chef is visible to see! The attention to detail in every bowl is amazing as he takes time to perfect each to be a perfect presentation. Very hawker/street style! No need to go to Toronto it's all right here. The hours are limited during the week and more flexible on weekend as the there is only one guy (the chef) and a counter person. highly impressed highly recommend

However if you're looking for absolutely authentic noodles and dumplings served up steaming hot with the sweetest owners then go ahead and pay them a visit. Everything was so inexpensive for the portion size! The beef noodle soup was heaven in a bowl and we loved the pork wontons both steamed and fried. Lots of street parking close by but be warned there is not much seating and it's super cold if you sit by the door as there's lots of people going in and out. Seriously incredible stuff

On account of some personal food allergies, I substitute the noodles for rice on the side and they are very good about accommodating me, thank you. In addition to the traditional animal based broths, I have also had the vegetarian broth which has a milky appearance and a mushroom flavour in which has a nice assortment of veggies. Will definitely have that again. You'll find on the middle page bottom of the menu, a level 3 hotness (12 chilies) dish. That is not for the faint of heart. Perhaps work your way up to that, definitely try 2 before 3. At peak times, be prepared to write your name on a sheet and wait until some seats open up.

Who would have thought that tucked away in Hamilton lies a temple to authentic Japanese ramen that…read morewould make even the most seasoned noodle enthusiast weak at the knees? Certainly not me, until I stumbled upon Tomdou Ramen during an afternoon stroll that transformed into a culinary epiphany. The unassuming storefront practically whispered "come in for some ramen" as I passed by, and I'm eternally grateful I heeded that call. Having only experienced the pedestrian pleasures of Shin instant noodles, I was about to embark on a ramen journey that would forever ruin packaged noodles for me. The staff--absolute gems--guided this ramen novice through their menu with the patience of culinary sherpas leading a first-timer up Mount Umami. I began with chicken karaage that was nothing short of transformative. The exterior achieved that holy grail of crispiness--shattering with each bite to reveal impossibly juicy meat within, seasoned with an expert hand that balanced salt, spice and umami in perfect harmony. For the main event, I surrendered to the classic Tonkotsu Ramen with pork belly and soft egg. The noodles! Oh, the noodles--chewy with just the right resistance, worlds away from their instant cousins. They swam in a pork bone broth that can only be described as transcendent--slightly creamy with a depth of flavor that doesn't just tantalize your taste buds but seems to activate entirely new sensory receptors. It's the kind of broth that makes you close your eyes involuntarily with each spoonful, silencing conversation as you process the complexity dancing across your palate. The pork belly practically melted against my tongue, while the soft egg--with its jammy, golden heart--added richness that made me want to slow time to savor each heavenly bite. This isn't just food; it's an experience that transports you from Hamilton to a side street in Tokyo. The intimate counter seating (accommodating just about 10 lucky souls at a time) and authentic Japanese decor create an atmosphere of being wonderfully elsewhere. Fair warning to larger groups: patience will be required, but I promise every minute of waiting will be rewarded tenfold. I left with profound gratitude to the staff who facilitated this mind-opening food experience, already planning my return with friends who need to be initiated into this ramen revelation. In a world of culinary hyperbole, Tomdou Ramen deserves every superlative. It doesn't just serve food; it offers transcendence in a bowl.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I was in town for a concert at TD Coliseum and had heard this ramen spot was closing at the end of…read moreJuly, so I knew I had to try it before it was gone. I ended up sitting at the bar, but probably should've waited for a regular table. The bar seats only about four people and feels a bit cramped. It's also farther from the entrance, so there wasn't much ventilation. Eating a bowl of ramen on a hot summer day made it feel especially warm. The ramen was delicious! The ramen egg is an extra add-on. It wasn't quite as jammy as I personally prefer, but it was still a great addition to the bowl. The location is another plus. It's an easy walk to TD Coliseum and the surrounding area is lively, with lots of other bustling businesses. A great spot to grab a meal before a concert!

They dropped off water and didn't come back for about 15mins. After taking our order the server comes back and tells us the grill is closed and couldn't serve us any of the BBQ items. This wouldn't have been an issue but the fact that she took 15mins to even come check on us is what made it a horrible experience. If she checked in on us sooner, we might have been able to order BBQ. Overall the spicy beef noodle soup was amazing, food is very good but the service was not. I'll definitely come back but just not going to expect the greatest service.

We were so happy to rediscover it through DoorDash delivery! We got 2 delicious ramen dishes. My husband ordered the pork with wide noodles and we both really enjoyed it! The flavor was bright, and spicy and the textures of the potatoes and veggies was so enjoyable. I got the brisket which was also delicious, but the pork was pretty special. We tried a few appetizers - edamame, garlicky spicy cucumbers with sesame and chicken wings which were delicious. We also got the buns and did not care for them - which I had forgotten we must have ordered the same before once I saw them. Does not affect the 5 star score - the ramens and other appetizers were 10/10. Can't wait to try more! I love that you can order different widths of noodles from capillary super thin - extra wide and 6 different options in between! They also have rice noodle dishes. Amazing menu + ramen!

We've been to this restaurant a couple of times and both have been great experiences!…read more The restaurant is fairly spacious and very clean, bright and airy. The service is pretty good although could be a little more attentive. We found it a bit difficult to catch the waiter/waitress's attention when we needed to ask for a container to take home our leftovers on both occasions we visited. The food is absolutely delicious. It's similar fare to other 'noodle houses' we often go to, but instead of the side dishes being 'on the side' here, they're already in the soup when you get it. We have no problem with that as we always use all of the side dishes anyway. The broth here is always really delicious. We've tried the original broth, spicy and pickled. All are very good. We have only tried the rice noodles, not the ramen or hand-pulled. But we would highly recommend all the rice noodle dishes. The soups are really packed with veggies, noodles and lots of 'add ins' so it makes for an inexpensive, delicious meal. We will definitely keep coming back!

They were nice and big, packed with flavour, and you get four pieces per order, which made for a great appetizer. For my main, I ordered the Penang Curry with Beef and really enjoyed it. The curry had great flavour and I was very happy with my choice. The only downside was that the beef was a little tough in some bites, but overall, I still really enjoyed the dish. My vegetarian wife ordered the Mango Curry with Tofu and Vegetables and enjoyed her meal as well. Unfortunately, she did find a tiny piece of chicken in her dish, which was obviously disappointing and something that shouldn't happen, especially when ordering a vegetarian meal. Overall, a solid takeout experience. We really enjoyed the spring rolls and our curries, and we'd be interested in trying some other dishes from the menu in the future.
